Chicago absolutely destroyed Milwaukee here, posting a 120-66 victory to advance to the second round in six games. Mike Dunleavy scored 20 points here and put up some nice physical plays that got the Bucks out of rhythm. The huge margin of victory was within four points of largest the largest in NBA playoffs history, a record that has stood since 1956. The Bulls will move on to face the Cavaliers in the second round.

This was the second game the Clips have won in San Antonio. The series will move back to Los Angeles for Game 7 tomorrow; it’s the only first-round series that taken all seven games this year.
